To this day, I still curse the Steam and PS4 browsers for not auto-filling your browser search bar with the game you have suspended, a cherished Wii U feature. It gave the world the first web browser for a home console that didn’t completely suck.

That’s not the only feature the Wii U sported that was demonstrably superior to those of its competitors. Despite the network-induced downtime, you were still guaranteed to capture the exact frame up on the screen when your thumb hit the “home” button, with none of the guesswork-inducing delay of the PlayStation 4’s “share” function. And it remained, up until last night, admirably responsive. The Wii U was, after all, the first console to launch with a built-in screenshot taking mechanism, catching up to Steam’s well-worn “F12” key. (Certainly, the ever-reliable twelve seconds required to reach the Miiverse servers was never welcome.)īut, in honor of its passing, let’s cut the Miiverse some slack.

Of course, we could ask why players ever needed to connect to a social network to take screenshots of a game in the first place. Not only that, I also lost the only method I had to take screenshots of the video feed on the Wii U Gamepad.* I hope the screenshots I’ve saved so far are enough to illustrate any future writing! This means I just lost a convenient method to take screenshots of Wii U games. So, last night, Nintendo pulled the plug on its Miiverse social network.
